Speaking of glacier lilies (Erythronium grandiflorum), we were lucky to witness, in 2004, one the best blooms since the mid-1970's (according to mountaineering friends of ours). These are from the alpine meadows at Healey Pass in Banff, on July 1st. The perhaps equally-abundant (but less showy) white flowers are Claytonia lanceolata.
Cohan, and others, there is a wonderful Youth Hostel right in the heart of Kananaskis Provincial Park, which is always happy to have even "seasoned youths" as myself as guests. I have always been able to reserve the private room, as well (sometimes for up to a week) which allows for really great exploration time of the area. There are good easy hikes, and plenty to be seen right at the sides of the roads---but of course the really spectacular plants (and animals) are higher up.
but you can miss the less obvious spots...
Here are some of the plants and scenery from dry, windblown Forget-Me-Not Ridge and Forget-Me-Not Peak (only a modest one) in Kananaskis Provincial Park... elevation ~2200-2300m.
